I believe that it is. We can not delay in such a matter. If the President needs further legislation, all he has to do is to ask for it. Order must be main tained. We need now the work of ev ery worker, and the right of any worker to work must be protec ted, and that without |«aying for the privilege. If there are grievances, let them be referred to Govern ment arbitration, but in the meantime tne work must go on. In all controversies between workers and i?mployers, the Gov ernment must now be umpire; its decisions must be prompt and effectual. I am for whatever measures may be necessary to eliminate ail possibility of strikes or sit- downs against the security of ih« people of the United States; and I am for prompt action. De lay is not only dangerous, it amount.s to defeat of all our plans. —Jo.siah W. Bailey, U. S. S. f’OPPY SALE NETS $212 TOWARD VETERAN AID e-? River anj God alone could sur- ! .Tiise w here.
